My Little Power Washing Kit
Hey again!
A few days ago I made a post about starting to wash/detail at my small apartment building and how to avoid water spots with hard water (https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoDetailing/s/QgyFJvCRqi)
I got everything in and I’m pretty happy with my setup. This is my first power washer and this little Ryobi 1.8 is great. I really wanted to make this as convenient and compact as possible to easily move and store. This Home Depot bin worked out perfectly for me. I cut out access points in the bin for the inlet and outlet hoses, so the unit never has to come out of the bin. I added quick releases to everything and that’s was really key. Everything stores neatly inside the bin. I carry out, plug it in and that’s it. It really makes the process enjoyable.
I upgraded the foam cannon to a Raincovo and I’ll definitely upgrade the hose, that thing is stiff.
I’m sure you guys who are much more seasoned could see my little kit and improve upon it, I really wish I could fit a small hose reel in this thing lol, but I’m happy.
Just wanted to share in case there’s some others here in the same boat as I am, apartment living, but with access to water and power. The size of this unit really makes it possible. Oh, and I actually had no issues with water spots from the hard water. I had enough shade to where I didn’t have to rush anything and the drying process was a non issue. I will be adding some products to even further help with this for other outside conditions. Superior Formula 4 sounds like a cool options or maybe some Gyeon Wet Coat.
This stuff really is fun!
